The suspension system of NL 2013494 comprises a bracket with a fastening part which can be attached to a support , such as a grid, and with at least one extending support part for supporting the feed holder ; a securing element which is connected to the bracket and which is provided to prevent the feed holder from being detached from the support part in a secured state and to allow the feed holder to be removed from the feed holder attachment , wherein the securing element comprises at least one first leg with a securing leg extending therefrom, the first leg being in such an angle with respect to the support part that they define a receiving space between them which is closed in the secured state by the securing leg, the receiving space being able to then contain at least one part of the feed holder, and that of the first leg and the support part at least one is elastic, so that the securing leg and the support part are movable with respect to one another in order to bring the feed holder attachment into a release state in which the receiving space enables to thus take in or out the said part of the feed holder .
According to the invention an improved and more versatile suspension system is proposed with the features of one or more of the appended claims .
The suspension system of the invention has several options of use .
In a first option and according to a first aspect of the invention the locking portion comprises an upstanding first guide rail , and a first movable portion which is up-and- down movable along the first guide rail and which first movable portion is equipped with downward pointing first retention hooks that are arranged to be positionable within the holder behind an upper rim of the holder, when said holder is suspended from the obliquely upwards and forwards extending first protrusions of the at least one plate and the first movable portion is mounted on the upstanding first guide rail . This is the simplest arrangement of the suspension system of the invention .
In another aspect of the invention wherein more options of use come available , the locking portion comprises an assembly of the first movable portion and a second movable portion, which assembly comprising the first movable portion is up-and-down movable along the first guide rail , and wherein the second movable portion is mounted on the first guide rail and is equipped with an upstanding second guide rail , wherein the first movable portion is up-and-down movable along the upstanding second guide rail of the second movable portion . In this arrangement it is not only possible to suspend the feed holder in its normal way of use , wherein the teat of the feed holder is accessible for the cattle ; it is also possible to suspend the feed holder in a manner that the teat is inaccessible , or to suspend the feed holder upside down . Di f ferent features that support these options will be discussed hereinafter .
It is preferable that the second movable portion is equipped with downward pointing second retention hooks that are arranged to be positionable within the holder behind an upper rim of the holder, when said holder is suspended from the obliquely upwards and forwards extending first protrusions of the at least one plate and the second movable portion is mounted on the upstanding first guide rail . This enables to suspend the feed holder in its normal way of use , wherein the teat of the feed holder is accessible for the cattle .
In that connection it is desirable that the at least one plate comprises an aperture through which the teat of the holder is extendable , when the holder is suspended from the obliquely upwards and forwards extending first protrusions of the at least one plate .
Further it is preferable that the second movable portion is equipped with obliquely upwards and forwards extending second protrusions which can protrude through apertures of the holder, wherein the first retention hooks of the first movable portion are then arranged to be positionable behind an upper rim of the holder to secure the holder against li fting from said second protrusions . This enables that when the holder is suspended from the obliquely upwards and forwards extending second protrusions of the second movable portion, the teat will engage the at least one plate so as to prevent that the cattle can suck the teat . This arrangement can also be used to suspend the feed holder upside down .
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of a deskinning apparatus according to the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims .

Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts .
Making first reference to figures 1 and 2 , it shows a first embodiment of a suspension system 1 for a feeding system 2 for cattle . Figure 2 shows that said feeding system 2 comprises a holder 3 for liquid feed, which holder 3 is provided with a teat 4 having a suction end 4 ' to enable cattle to suck liquid feed from the holder 3 .
The suspension system 1 comprises an attachment portion 5 which is equipped to connect the suspension system 1 to a fence . Further the suspension system 1 comprises at least one plate 6 which is provided with obliquely upwards and forwards extending first protrusions 7 , 8 which are arranged to protrude through apertures 9 , 10 in a wall of the holder 3 so that the first protrusions 7 , 8 extend to within the holder 3 . The suspension system 1 further comprises a locking portion 11 to secure the holder 3 against li fting from said first protrusions 7 , 8 .
It is further shown that the locking portion 11 comprises an upstanding first guide rail 12 . In this first embodiment a first movable portion 13 which is up-and-down movable along the first guide rail 12 is equipped with downward pointing first retention hooks 14 that are arranged to be positionable within the holder 3 behind an upper rim 15 of the holder 3 , when said holder 3 is suspended -as shown in figure 2- from the obliquely upwards and forwards extending first protrusions 7 , 8 of the at least one plate 6 , wherein further the first movable portion 13 is mounted on the upstanding first guide rail 12 . This is the simplest arrangement of the suspension system 1 of the invention showing the normal use of the holder 3 suspended from the suspension system 1 according to the first embodiment .
Making now reference to figures 3 and 4 , it shows a second embodiment of a suspension system 1 for a feeding system 2 for cattle . Figure 4 shows that said feeding system 2 comprises a holder 3 for liquid feed, which holder 3 is provided with a teat 4 having a suction end 4 ' to enable cattle to suck liquid feed from the holder 3 .
The suspension system 1 of the second embodiment also comprises an attachment portion 5 which is equipped to connect the suspension system 1 to a fence . Further in this embodiment the suspension system 1 comprises at least one plate 6 which is provided with obliquely upwards and forwards extending first protrusions 7 , 8 which are arranged to protrude through apertures 9 , 10 of the holder 3 . The suspension system 1 further comprises a locking portion 11 to secure the holder 3 against li fting from said first protrusions 7 , 8 .
It is further shown that the locking portion 11 comprises an upstanding first guide rail 12 . In this second embodiment the locking portion 11 comprises an assembly of the first movable portion 13 and a second movable portion 16 , which assembly comprising the first movable portion 13 is up- and-down movable along the first guide rail 12 . The second movable portion 16 is mounted on the first guide rail 12 and is equipped with an upstanding second guide rail 17 . The first movable portion 13 is up-and-down movable along said up-standing second guide rail 17 of the second movable portion 16 . In this arrangement it is not only possible to suspend the feed holder 3 in its normal way of use , wherein the teat 4 of the feed holder 3 is accessible for the cattle as is shown in figure 4 ; it is also possible to suspend the feed holder 3 in a manner that the teat 4 is inaccessible for cattle as is shown in figure 5 , or to suspend the feed holder 3 upside down as is shown in figure 6 . Di f ferent features that support these options will be discussed hereinafter .
It is preferable that the second movable portion 16 is equipped with downward pointing second retention hooks 18 that are arranged to be positionable within the holder 3 behind an upper rim 15 of the holder 3 , when said holder 3 is suspended from the obliquely up-wards and forwards extending first protrusions 7 , 8 of the at least one plate 6 and the second movable portion 16 is mounted on the up-standing first guide rail 12 . This is shown in figure 4 and enables to suspend the feed holder 3 in its normal way of use , wherein the teat 4 of the feed holder 3 is accessible for the cattle .
In that connection it is desirable that the at least one plate 6 comprises an aperture 19 ( shown in both figure 2 and figure 4 ) through which the teat 4 of the holder 3 is extendable , when the holder 3 is suspended from the obliquely upwards and forwards extending first protrusions 7 , 8 of the at least one plate 6 .
